The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (or ABC, the government-owned national broadcaster) can be received throughout the state. The Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) can be received in major cities and to a lesser extent in other areas.

Tasmania has two commercial television stations. WIN-TV is a Network 9 affiliate based in the south of the state. Southern Cross Television carries programming from Networks 7 and 10 and is based in the north. Aggregation occurred in 1994, meaning that both WIN-TV and Southern Cross now broadcast statewide.
